SAN DIEGO -- Paul Clemens doesnt expect his sore back to cost him any playing time going forward.The San Diego starter was pulled after 4 2/3 innings in his second start with the Padres, a 3-2 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday.I dont think its anything to the point where I have to miss time, he said.Clemens (1-2) was forced to exit with lower back tightness. A waiver pickup from the Marlins, he was charged with two runs on four hits and a walk. He tied a career high with five strikeouts.I think hes gonna be fine, Padres manager Andy Green said. He was just kind of unable to shake it. He felt it in the fourth inning for the first time and felt it again. At that point in time I guess I thought better of leaving him in the game.Homer Bailey, a pitcher well-versed in injuries, was solid in his season debut. Bailey returned following forearm and elbow surgeries and worked 5 2/3 innings, allowing two runs, four hits and three walks. He dominated the Padres at one point, retiring 14 consecutive batters.Limited to two starts last year, the right-handed Bailey was sharp as the Reds took the three-game series and completed their first winning road trip (4-2) since 2014.Bailey (1-0), who has thrown two career no-hitters, recorded five of his six strikeouts over six batters during one stretch in the middle innings.Tony Cingrani worked the ninth for his 13th save in 18 chances.The Reds took a 2-1 edge in the second, thanks to some power from an unlikely source.Eugenio Suarez singled and Jose Peraza followed with a home run into the second deck of the Western Metal Supply Co., building. The 424-foot shot was Perazas first of his career.The home run was tough, because I was still thinking about that at-bat prior, Clemens said. We have to find a way to clear that at-bat before it, and then focus back in instead of just laying something in there to an ambush hitter.The Padres loaded the bases with one out in the eighth, but reliever Michael Lorenzen fanned Jabari Blash and Christian Bethancourt flied out.The Padres closed the gap to 3-2 in the sixth, Baileys most stressful inning, when Alexi Amaristas one-out single preceded three straight walks. Amarista was thrown out trying to score on a wild pitch.After the third walk to Blash, a disappointed Bailey let his guard down and Wil Myers swiped home without a throw. Bailey was then lifted after 89 pitches.I saw that (Bailey) would turn his back on a lot of close calls, Myers said. And I knew that if he walked (Blash) that he might turn his back again.Blake Wood relieved Bailey and retired Bethancourt looking to end the threat.TRAINERS ROOMPadres: RHP Erik Johnson (right elbow) is expected to miss the rest of the season. While hoping to avoid surgery, his rehabilitation will linger into the offseason.UP NEXTPadres: RHP Jarred Cosart (0-1, 5.95) will make his debut with the Padres against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers. Cosart, who was part of the deal which sent Andrew Cashner and Colin Rea to the Marlins, is making his fifth start of the season.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- The pole vault world-record holder was banned. The hometown favorite didnt make it through qualifying.It was all perfectly set up for Jenn Suhr to win another Olympic gold medal.It didnt happen.The American couldnt overcome a respiratory infection that left her dizzy, coughing up blood earlier in the day and throwing up twice near the pole vault area during the competition.Suhr ended up tied for seventh Friday in an event won by Ekaterini Stefanidi of Greece. Sandi Morris of the United States finished with silver and Eliza McCartney of New Zealand wound up with bronze.I feel horrible, said Suhr, who captured Olympic gold four years ago in London and silver at the 2008 Beijing Games. Im actually getting concerned. Its going on Day 10, and I feel worse today.Her next stop: home to New York get treatment for this mysterious illness.They think its respiratory and now in the lungs, Suhr said. This morning I was coughing up blood. Its getting scary.I just want to get out of here and go home and figure it out.Just when the path to another gold medal appeared wide open, too.Suhrs top competitor was supposed to be Yelena Isinbayeva, the world-record holder who has been banned from the Games, along with dozens of otherr Russians, because of a doping investigation.dddddddddddd Isinbayeva called it quits Friday as she focuses on a new career in sports politics and even mulls over an offer to lead the Russian track and field team.Also missing from the field was Fabiana Murer, the Brazilian who was expected to get in the mix for a medal but didnt make it out of qualifying.Its such a crappy feeling to know youve worked four years for this and for this to happen, Suhr said. Its embarrassing, too.Early on, Suhr thought she felt OK enough to compete. While warming up, she was clearing the bar at 4.90 meters, which wouldve won this competition. It didnt carry over into the final. Stefanidi and Morris both cleared the same height -- 4.85 -- but Stefanidi had fewer misses.I was like, Im on, Suhr said. After warm-ups, everything shut down. My muscles -- Ive never had them shake.Morris said she could tell her teammate didnt feel well.She just looked pretty dreary. I dont know how else to say it, Morris said. She just didnt look energetic. I really feel for her. Its just an unfortunate circumstance to get sick at this time. ' ' '
